Lashing out at the BJP-PDP government at the state and the central government for "encouraging separatists" by releasing Masarat Alam, General Secretary of Kranti Dal Pritem Sharma alleged that Mufti Sayeed was carrying forward the agenda of separatists in the state and BJP was supporting them.

Another group of over 150 activists of Jammu West Organisation burnt effigies of Pakistan, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed and separatists.

"Separatists should be arrested and government led by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed should be sacked. Sayeed is carrying forward the agenda of separatists and we will not tolerate them", the organistation's president Sunil Dimple said.

The protesters blocked transport in many areas of Jammu and burn effigy of Hurriyat leaders including Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

After a gap of five years, Jammu and Kashmir Government yesterday allowed Geelani to hold the rally where his supporters including Masarat Alam, released from jail last month, raised pro-Pakistan slogans and others waved Pakistani flags.
